The cost:

The Gadds expect lanes to be full more often than not, and while walk-ins are welcome, they encourage online booking. In addition to hourly throwing ($20/hour/person), you can book parties ($40/person + deposit, 8-person minimum) and league play ($120 for 8 weeks of throwing).

The throwers:

All throwers must be over the age of 18 and wearing closed-toed shoes.

Never played? Coaches will be on-site to help first-timers learn to throw and better understand the game.

Per the website: “During both private parties and league play, customers will participate in matches consisting of three rounds of five axe throws per play. Each lane consists of two targets where two customers will compete in head-to-head competition. Each customer will throw one axe at a time starting on or behind the throwing line that is 14’ from the target.”

The drinks (yes, the drinks):

The bar will offer a selection of wine and local beer. While there won’t be food on-site, outside food is welcome (the Gadds recommend walking over to the food truck parked outside of Catawba).
